We are open to expertise in any field and welcome a variety of disciplinary and interdisciplinary perspectives on the Asian American experience, especially with respect to history, politics, religion, culture (art, music, literature), immigration, identity, community formation, social movements, homeland/diaspora, the environment, as well as broader connections to class, race, ethnicity, gender, and sexuality. The successful candidate will be appointed as a faculty member at the rank of Assistant Professor with an appointment in one of the following departments—Anthropology, English, History, Sociology, Politics, and Asian Languages and Literatures—depending on the background of the candidate. We expect the successful candidate to play a key role in developing a robust Asian American Studies program at Brandeis.
